| A federal judge for the Southern District of Illinois issued an injunction Friday afternoon, ruling the assault weapons ban as unenforceable. Judge Steven McGlynn ruled the state cannot enforce the ban until the court can make a decision. “The Supreme Court in Bruen and Heller held that citizens have a constitutional right to own and possess firearms and may use them for self-defense,” the judge wrote in his ruling. “[The ban] seems to be written in spite of the clear directives in Bruen and Heller, not in conformity with them.” The court’s ruling will allow transfers of these firearms, but all other measures like background checks and needing a FOID card are unaffected by this ruling.
